My Friend’s Back Yard

By in cats, Jack's House of Cats, paintings, Portraits, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, women

This is from an older sketchbook, so I suppose it qualifies as “archival.” It’s my friend’s back yard, with her cat, and even a portrait of her, on the left hand side, and Yours Truly on the right. She hated being photographed, and, I’m assuming, would have hated being painted. But here you are….

Childhood Dog

By in dogs, paintings, watercolor, watercolour

I was digging through what I laughingly call my “archives,” and this little painting fell out. It’s a portrait I did some years ago of our family’s childhood dog, Pimmy. He was a “Toy Terrier,” which meant he was a cross between a Jack Russell Terrier, and a beagle. Not the brightest dog in the […]

Watercolour Kitty

This is a painting I did this morning. Not a masterpiece, and nothing to do with Christmas, but I learn by doing things, and painting makes me feel good. Dollarama Watercolour paper, about 5 x 7 inches.

Witch Lady with Cat

By in paintings, watercolor

My blog still seems to be working, but please bear with me as I upgrade it from the 1990’s version of WordPress. I’ll include links here to where this is officially going on the web, once I figure them out. This picture was more for Halloween, and was illustrating someone’s story. A much more famous […]

Trees and Kid

By in heads, men, paintings, Portraits, sketches, watercolour

I’m watercolouring again. Using the cheap paper, but still, it’s good to get into things. I did the kid separately, and then digitally pasted him in. So, it’s a combination digital/watercolour work, if you want to be technical about it.

Watercolour Faces

By in color, Gouache, heads, Jack's House of Cats, men, montreal, paintings, Portraits, self-promotion, sketches, watercolour

I’m just putting this up to see how big the graphic is….  Not too impressive, eh? It’s relaxing sitting on the front balcony doodling faces and the passing scene outside. People go by, things go by, as James Agee put it… Watercolour takes a lot of work to get back to one’s level. Haven’t sold […]
